After the sale.............

I did very well with my sale and I had fun too. I made some money and got rid of a lot of extra things. It was hard work and entailed a lot of sorting, pricing and more sorting. I am glad it's over even though I did enjoy myself.
This weekend we finished up on Saturday evening and just covered everything. Next day we proceeded to sort things out and repack. I brought in what I wanted to keep and we took 3 boxes of books to Goodwill. I have 3 bags of clothes for the Thrift shop and a box of fabric and quilt books for a friend. This is what we brought inside

So today I began to go through that room, and I did it. I got everything in it's place and sorted. So this evening the room looks like this

The driveway is clear of all but the empty boxes now. I was just too tired to put those in the garage. The garage now looks like this...........


I still have to organize it but at least now I can see what I am doing. I also can do that without hitting my head on things hanging from above.
Maybe next year, when Spring comes again. I will have a good start and know where everything is...........the basement is pretty sorted out too. Still has Gabby's things for now, but soon it will be clear.
So that is it. I can not imagine having another sale like that.
I did pull a few weeds and tidied up on Sunday, I got the back area all sorted and tidy, was quite happy with that and turned my hand to the veggie plot. I then went back later to find this mess.

I was very disappointed to say the least. There is a pile of lumber out back in the ally. Gerry had to work today and again tomorrow. Then if it's still there we will take a load to the dump. People will often pick up things they may want. So it's good to set things out and find out if someone wants things.There is some good lumber should anyone want it.
Anyway I had a quick look around today and it will soon be that the Mums are blooming and the Asters. Bud's Asters are out but they have more sun

Mine just have buds. The front is almost done, things are shriveled and dead. That at least will give me chance to clean up, plant stuff and move things. I should hope the weather cools down again. At least it did for the sale and clean up. Now to finish up inside and hope to get outside by weeks end.



My Boston Ferns are so pretty I hate to see them die off. I brought one inside last year but they are so messy half way through winter.


So do I bring them in or not? I just don't like to see things die. I brought in the Geraniums last year as well as some of the Begonia's. I can put them in the bedrooms but...........do I want to? That's the thing. I think I have about Ferns and two Geraniums.
